i have been diagnosed as Stage 1C clear cell carcinoma (Ort's surgery removed right ovary, cancer found, full hysterectomy/staging a week ago, no other cancer found - although a nodule on my thyroid seen). My oncologist wants me to have chemo as a protective measure. I have a tendency to freeze up with medical stuff... and i think he said they want me to do at least half or more, if I can tolerate it. A platinum chemo with taxol. I think I am less afraid of the chemo than the port they want to install on Friday. The port makes it all too real and I am afraid of having to care for a Port.
I would love to hear the experiences of others with this diseease. What can I expect as a quality of life During and after chemo. Frequency of follow up.
